September 17, 2008 by defunkd · 2 Comments
Each week we feature an interesting vintage tee that’s currently on the eBay auction block. Please feel free to link us if you create or discover an auction we might like.
Description: Vintage 1980 PINK FLOYD The Wall WORLD TOUR
Measurements: 21″ Across Chest / Top to Bottom: 26″
Sold by: dracula_bite
What the Seller Says: Great authentic Rock collectible! It was THERE! Great creature & monster graphics and amazing flying pigs.
What I Say: In honor of founding Floyd member Richard Wright, who recently passed away, I hunted down the coolest vintage Floyd shirt auction I could find. After Pink Floyd completed writing The Wall in 1979, Wright was forced out of the band by Roger Waters. Why would I choose a shirt that represents such a tumultuous time in Wright’s life? Well, they ended up hiring him back as a salaried musician to promote their subsequent live performances. Due the to elaborate nature of each show, the tours’ costs spiraled out of control and the remaining three members netted a financial loss. Ironically, Wright was the only one who actually profited.
Final Price: $37.00

Ken is Definitely No Doll
September 15, 2008 by defunkd · 1 Comment
This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from a very creative and witty eBayer who goes by iloveseverus. So witty in fact, that I don’t even have to do the usual break down of how absurd the listing is, this one speaks for itself.
What does this have to do with vintage clothing? Not a heck of a lot. Well, that dress Ken’s wearing isn’t exactly modern day, but I have already said to much. Let’s face it, Ken’s been riding on Barbie’s coattails since their first mold was made. Some might even say he’s Barbie’s bitch, but that’s obviously a title he’s learned to live with, and even appreciate.
Check it out here, and do it quickly! It has some questionable content so eBay might pull it.
